I think it all depends on your personnel.
In a 3-4, you use the 3 guys to occupy blockers to free the LB's to make the plays. That would waste Geno and Dunlap. Dunlap would presumably be a LB in a 3-4. Geno would likely move to DE and his sack totals would plummet.
We also have no LB's who are good pass rushers and they struggle mightily in coverage.
Our current personnel are basically the total opposite of what you need to run a 3-4.
Conceptually, a 3-4 does get more speed on the field which I think helps in the modern NFL.
